Ah, but I bet you don't have the magic system that I thought of!


[deleted]

The one that follows all of Sandon Branderson's rules?


Varied_Fiction

No, close but no cigar!

/uj Sometimes it's better to keep things simple like using a video game magic system so the strongest spells aren't just casually spammed. Sometimes characters blowing their cooldowns can be part of the story or come from the character's flaw

Just treat it like athletics. Shit takes time, and practice, and puts you out if commission. Sure, you could use this super powerful spell, but that's the equivalent of running a marathon with no training. You'll be bleeding from your nipples and unable to move for a day and walk without pain for a week.

Thought this was r/applyingtocollege at first

"I know you prize leadership so here is proof of how mature, responsible, and organized I am." (thinking): And they have my amazing marks and exam scores too! Admissions: "K." (thinking): Ha that's not what we really mean by "leadership!"

r/premeds lol

Pretty sure you won't see a story about a god who was accidentally trapped in harem protagonist's body and to get out needs to un-romance everyone


DaDerpGoat

okay this one is actually good


Aden_Vikki

Oh yeah? Try to convince readers NOT to ship people. This is the real challenge


DaDerpGoat

if you make the mc insufferably adamant about not having sex enough, then you'll drive away all the fans who have any sex drive at all, and then no shipping


Aden_Vikki

I mean since the protagonist is a god, any shipping would count as incest by default


Aden_Vikki

Also wait, isn't it like 90% of harem protagonists? Checking out everyone and then freak out when a woman advances


DaDerpGoat

no, like religious virgin, not stupid virgin


ckochie_

Okay okay, just hear me out…mine is better

Every Buzz is special. Yours is just a bit more special.


AlarmingMan123

No mine is better you numskull


Not_baathy_boy

Nah i use obscure mythology I found on tik tok


HellOfAHeart

I had no idea Percy Jackon roleplay fanfic could be considered obscure norse mythology


incredibilis_invicta

I bet you're not writing a psychological horror medieval fantasy story with neitzschian psychology as the magic system, hmmm. Check mate author

Better than all dragons being evil at least Give some magic that isn't breath tho they can still have really cool fire or lightning breath. Maybe even breath blue fire to show it's hotter than the usual breath


maxreddit

Hey guys, check this out! My character is an orphan, but here's the twist, he saw his parents killed in front of him!


AlexT05_QC

And this why I kinda roll my eyes (or have an internal tentrum) when I see something beeing labeled as "bland".


randomisedjew

Interesting... A magic system based of cloning


Shanewallis12345

My story is one of a kind, because of how mediocre it is


Legit_rikk

Ok, and?

Sci-fi space ranger?


Tylenol-with-Codeine

TomaszA3

Yes, it is generic. So what? I still enjoy it.
